Adding Product Images

The Images tab is used to upload and manage images for a single product. You can upload multiple images for the product, and maintain different images for each website or store view. However, if you have many images to manage, you might prefer to import them, rather than upload product images individually.

Adding Product Images

To add product images:

1.

If the images are to be used for only a specific store view, set Choose Store View in the upper-left corner to identify the view where the images will be used.

2.

In the panel on the left, click Images.

3.

Click the Browse Files button, and select the product images files you want to upload to your store.

4.

Click the Upload Files button to upload the selected images to your store. Then, for each image, do the following:

a.

Enter a descriptive Label for the image. This text appears on mouseover and can improve indexing by search engines.

b.

If using multiple images, enter a numeric value in the Sort Order field to determine the sequence in which they appear in the thumbnail gallery.

c.

To prevent an image from being included in the thumbnail gallery, click the Exclude checkbox. For example, if the product has only one image, there’s no reason to include it in the gallery.
